As a Wireless SoC RF Integration and Validation Engineer at Apple, you will join a dynamic team responsible for delivering comprehensive end-to-end solutions in the realm of RF integration. Your daily tasks will include developing DUT control sequences, bringing up wireless-SOC RF functionality, designing system calibrations, and optimizing performance metrics such as IP3, NF, ACPR, and phase noise. You will also create test benches, write scripts for data analysis, generate performance reports, and develop firmware using Python. The role requires a strong background in RF systems, transceiver architectures, and digital communication, along with proficiency in Python and C programming, and familiarity with RF test equipment like network analyzers and spectrum analyzers. This position offers the chance to deepen your expertise in both hardware and software domains while contributing to Apple’s cutting-edge wireless products from design through mass production.

What you'll do

  • Develop and integrate DUT control sequences for RF end-to-end solutions.
  • Lead wireless-SOC RF functionality bring-up at the initial touchpoint.
  • Design and optimize RF block/system calibrations with advanced algorithms.
  • Characterize and optimize RF performance metrics like Psat, Mask, IP3.
  • Create RF test benches and scripts to control wireless-SOC and equipment.
  • Analyze large data sets from characterization results for ATE productions.

What we're looking for

  • Solid experience in RF parametric testing including IP3, NF, ACPR, phase noise.
  • Strong knowledge of RF test equipment like network analyzers and spectrum analyzers.
  • Background in wireless RF systems, transceiver architectures, and digital communication.
  • Proficiency in understanding RFIC block-level design schematics.
  • Experience with RF PCB board design, debugging, and development.
  • Python programming skills for developing RF firmware and automation scripts.
